This will be great to have programming way to start app.
Like:
startApp ("com.appautomatic.ankulua.trial")
This would simplify Sharing. As well as the creation of chains of multiple applications (games).
Perhaps there is such a possibility. And I just have not found it.

Also it would be great if there were a way to detect if specified app is running. My game sometimes just crashes.

Good news. Version 5.7.0 supports startApp() Nice job!  Would you mind adding some way to check if the app is already open ( like zpt suggested)? Or even better: a function that returns the current app that's "on top"? |

You can always start the app.
If the app is already running, nothing will happen.

If it crashed then script must perform some start up actions, if game not crashed, those aren't needed, so i still neeed to check if game crashed or not. And there is no common element for all possible game screens, now my script checking for three different elements for sure. But just relaunching the game is much more convinient now, thank you. |

By crash you mean it hangs, not force-closes? |

By crash you mean it hangs, not force-closes? Finding device showing homescreen, game still in running apps list, but switching to it just relaunches it with loading, connecting, etc. Sorry, not very familiar with android apps terminology. |

So you'll also need to be able to kill the app to make it start properly? |

Try this
oclock = 0 + os.date("%H")
if (oclock == 8) then
-- do what you want
end
